The Dudeism Forum

playing this never-ending role of wife and mother. i fucking hate it but that attitude does not help me abide but man oh man....
i want to stop shaving my legs, and chin and just be the DUDE, ya know? does anyone out there know what i mean?
i only procreated when there wasnt any other option to get out of working for a living.
nasty huh?
ah well, true slacker that i am, i continue to abide to my core leanings and do what i must in order to 1. stay unemployed. 2. entertained 3. mellow.

oh man, i already posted this but now i see i should have put it in 'dirty undies' and dont know how to, sorry for the confessions in the general discussion section, very undude. weekends are hard man.

  Based upon your confessions, I would have to say that you qualify as a true dude. Fucking eh.

Dude kids would not have been my way out.

Chop a hand off or something.

But then I never liked kids when I was one, still don't much favour them now.

Seems like too much hard work to me.

looking back, of course, the dude wasn't thinking too clearly. but i have to say, the older she gets the more i like her, of course she hasnt hit preteen yet, but due to the other part of me, the loving housefrau maternal part that i am usually able to access i think im at least as good a mom as maude must have turned out to be.

Sounds exhausting!

Yea, fuck that noise.

I'm pro choice.

oooh, boy, i just got my ordination kit, and put my stickers on the car, the patches on my hats( i tend to wear a lot of fishing caps) and im feeling very OUT THERE, like making it public, man! feels good!

IMO i dont think being a dude has anything to do with being or wishing to be unemployed, just because the character in LBL was i dont think it has anything to do with dudeism

Couldn't agree more. We all have to feed the monkey...and we can still be dudelike at work...I'd love to be able to not afford to work and take her easy for everyone out there...but there's bills to pay man!

I get to work on time...do my shifts...work for the man then enjoy my oat sodas with my hard earned...gives me a nice peaceful sense of well being.

Peace dude.

I'm getting married so soon I'll be a housewife dude. I'm a new convert to Dudeism, but getting into it has really helped me get through some of the lame shit at work and home.

I mean today I had to feed the monkey--the monkey being my fiance. Made him liverwurst sandwiches. I hate the smell of that shit, but I just said "fuck it" and made them anyways. Doing laundry and other things like that are never fun for me, but it's just the fuckin' way she goes.

Take 'er easy, hannahdude.

Isn't there some line about him being independently financed or something?

I see my job as particularly Dudeist (i am a database Administrator, and developer) because I spend most of my time trying to work out ways that do things that I don't have to get involved in again (until something goes wrong).

So the whole point of my job is to work myself out of the solution.

I believe that was in the original script, but Coens eventually decided to leave it out and leave people guessing.

I just came across it:

In an early draft of the script, The Dude's source of income was revealed. He was an heir to the inventor of the Rubik's Cube. It was Joel Coen's idea to drop this and never say.

And hannahdude, I just want to say if you want to stop shaving, just do it. There'll be paraquats about it, but you seem like the kind of dude that can abide through all that. My opinion.

Well, maybe hard working and taking care of your family can be done with an 'takin' ?r easy' mindset. Just be awere not to think too uptight!

My hub is a fucking fascist when it comes to shaving... but I drew the line at shaving my pits; figured I'd throw him a bone with the legs... but I ask him, "What's worse, the rashy razor shit, or the lovely soft hair...?"

Bottom line, do what makes you feel good. My chin hairs bug the crap out of me though, so I pluck those hairy fuckers.
